There are legging jeans, and there are legging jeans. These jeans from 80′s Purple are definitely the most leggingly — if there’s such a word — of them all. No zipper fly, no yoke, no pockets. However, the extra ankle zip detail brings me back to the fact that these are supposed to be jeans. And, at the legging-priced deal of $19.20, it’s a huge score. Just make sure you write to 80′s Purple and get them to stock some more sizes.
The great thing about these jeans, besides the fact that they look super comfy, is, no stirrups! The only way anybody will get me into a pair of stirrup pants is if the stirrups are for function, rather than fashion. I can stuff these babies into a pair of fall boots and not be bothered by bunching, creases and the uncomfortable hard denim folds pressed up against my legs. Yes, I can get that perfect paparazzi-friendly look mastered by the likes of Sienna Miller and Jessica Biel.
Whether they be Loeffler Randall low boots, Frye Engineers or Docs, I know my legs will look sleek and my day will be care free. Just remember to wear the right kind of underwear for no-show lines. That would not be a pretty picture.
